INTERSTATE STANDARD

THE HIGH-PURITY CADMIUM

Method of spectrographic determination of mercury

Cadmium high purity.
Method of spectrographic determination of mercury

GOST
23116.2−78

Date of introduction 01.07.79

This standard sets the spectrographic method for the determination of mercury (in mass concentration of mercury from 510-5 % to 510-3 %) in cadmium of high purity.

The basis of spectrographic determination of mercury in cadmium on the method of «three standards» with the evaporation of mercury from the crater of the carbon electrode in the arc DC.

Spectrographic plates of type I or P.

Samples comparison. The basis for the preparation of the samples is metallic cadmium with mercury content less than 110-5 %. The basic sample containing 0.5% of mercury, prepared as follows. The calculated linkage of mercury wrapped in cadmium plate, so that the mercury was inside. In a graphite crucible, heated to a temperature of approximately 400 °C under a flux consisting of potassium chloride and lithium chloride in a 1:1 ratio, melt a portion of the cadmium in the melt are immersed a sample of mercury wrapped in cadmium plate. Thoroughly mixed melt is then poured into the mold. The primary dilution of the sample with cadmium 100 times receive the first comparison sample. Then by serial dilution of each newly obtained sample basis 2−3 times prepared a series of working samples. The prepared samples carefully analyzed by a colorimetric method according to GOST 19 674 units.

Sec. 2. (Changed edition, Rev. No. 1, 2).

3. ANALYSIS

Mercury determination is carried out on the quartz spectrograph medium dispersion being a condenser. The slot width 0,020 mm. the Weight of the portion of sample or reference sample (300 mg) in the form of sawdust is placed in a hole in the bottom carbon electrode to a depth of 15 mm, a diameter of 4 mm and thoroughly compacted with a kick ball made of organic glass. Between the electrodes the arc is ignited, the DC power of 8 A. the exposure Time 2 min, the distance between the electrodes of 2.5−3.0 mm.

Spectra of samples and calibration samples are photographed three times on the same photographic plate.

Sec. 3. (Changed edition, Rev. No. 2).

4. PROCESSING OF THE RESULTS

4.1. In the spectrogram, using microphotometry measure the blackening of analytical lines of mercury Hg I 253,652 nm and the surrounding background (right of the line). According to the measured values of Sl+f and Sf, using the characteristic curve, determine the logarithms of the intensity of the lines and background lg (Il+ If) and the logarithm of the background intensity lg If. Then Il= (Il+ If) — If. Calibration graphs constructed in the coordinates lg I, lg Withwhere With the mercury concentration in the calibration samples. For the calibration chart find the mercury content of cadmium.

To construct the characteristic curve of photographic plates simultaneously with the samples and the samples of the comparison spectrum photographed through a nine-iron platinum reliever.

The final result of the analysis taking the arithmetic mean of two parallel definitions (each definition of the three spectrograms).

The difference between the two results of parallel measurements with a confidence probability P = 0.95 does not exceed the value of permissible differences (dn) calculated by the formula

dn = 0,3 ,

where is the arithmetic mean of the two comparable results of parallel measurements.

The difference between two results of analysis of the same samples with confidence probability P = 0.95 does not exceed the value of permissible divergence (da), calculated according to the formula

da = 0,3 ,

where is the arithmetic mean of the two comparable test results.
